Re:

Just saw this and I like it a lot

In the first build with white forks it reminded me a lot of my parkpre, very similar look!

Re:

but, as quickly as the wind changes, so does my mind, and the USE SUB is coming off and going up for sale..... :facepalm:

i have a lovely pair of Psylos in gold with a 20mm bolt through axle that's going on instead

So I saw... Very tempting, but I'm managing to resist for now

Re:

so, earlier on in this story, i was talking about forks, and what i wanted to fit.
back in 2001 i think, i bought a brand new pair of Rockshox Psylo Race 20mm Tullio forks, they were an amazing electric gold colour, and cost me from memory £470!
as you can see from this thread, i've already fitted various forks
however, i came across a pair of really nice condition Psylos on eBay recently, and bagged them, result!
i also managed to get some 20mm hub adapters so i could use my Hope Bulb front wheel
the paint is in amazing condition, as are the decals, so, here it is, running yet another fork

What do you want to look at first? The bike or the tyres?

I think with such a lovely frame and elegant build, anything loud on the tyre front detracts from the whole aesthetic darling.

Re:

possibly, but if you don't try you'll never know

these were kept by for my other 'old' Alves, not this one, but as that build is going nowhere fast, i decided to give the tyres a dusting off on this instead!
